Recreational Therapy

My name is Ginna Barber and I am a Recreational Therapist at the N.C. Children's Hospital. I have been working here for over 7 years. During my time here, I have had the opportunity to meet so many wonderful patients and families. The children are truly a blessing. Each day, I look forward to coming to work because the kids touch my life in so many ways. What an amazing experience to see the strength and spirit that they display even during difficult times! I am not always the one who is teaching them-- they are the ones who teach me!
